Two busted for drug trafficking at Aviation Cargo Village

The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) has apprehended two persons for trafficking narcotics at the Aviance Cargo Village.

One of the suspects, Albert Adoquaye Acquaye, a driver, was arrested by operatives of NACOB after a KIA Frontier Truck with registration number GW 58-14 that he was driving was intercepted at the Aviance Cargo Village.

Upon arrest, Adoquaye Acquaye mentioned one Ago Lartey aka President Nikky as sender and owner of the consignment.

A thorough search on the KIA Frontier truck found 45 boxes which contained 625 compressed slabs of dried leaves suspected to be cannabis sativa and two lunch boxes containing brownish substances also suspected to be Hashish Oil, an extract of narcotic drug all concealed among dried ginger for export.

Surveillance mounted at Ago Lartey’s residence at Ashalley Botwe, led to his arrest on board a hired small KIA truck “Abossey Okai Macho” and a thorough search of the vehicle revealed eight sacks of dried ginger.
